MTV Denied Gaga the Right to Perform Her Idea [VMAs]

[paw 62]

Sounds awesome!! Love it!! Even tho this wasnt able to b done, i still really enjoyed what she did w it!!!!!!

[nath4gaga 1,274]

I think it was about s-xuality. In the way that she owns her own s-xuality rather than just being up there to look hot, which she purposefully did't, and instead of being Robin's random "hot girl" she was acting raunchy, no more so than what guys do or say in their music. Robin was her accessory rather than her being his. If that makes sense. I think it was about female s-xuality/equality.

Being a former Disney star totally helped her, and that's why she probably chose to do it that way. It was a good springboard. 

If anyone saw that in her performance without "help" I would like you to point me in the direction of them. She did something for the sake of it, which in my mind is totally unacceptable

that's why paparrazi didn't push gaga to another realm of success....

 

EVERY SINGLE TIME GAGA HAS DONE ANYTHING GP FRIENDLY OR.. NORMAL SHE HAS UNDERPERFORMED..

 

youre second statement is not true, the fame was incredibly commercial, GP friendly, and her performances were pretty tame, the only shocking performances I can remember are the mtv awards 2009, and that LoveGame performance with the firecracker tits, and the fame has been her most successful album/era to date

 

and c'mon speaking with sarcasm isnt helpful...but anyways, the performance got her some attention, ut it was arguably bad romance that really pushed her into another realm of success

 

but anyways the general public like shock and avante garde , theres no denying that, but to a certain limit, which again is why I think mtv rejected the idea, they probably felt she was gonna cross the limit with her performance. 

 

if majority of people preferred weird over commercial, then weird would surely be more popular right( or at least theoretically it should be seeing alot of artists like to play the whats trendy and whats successful game)

MTV sucks. This would've slayed BUT I feel she still slayed with her performance. Hopefully Gaga will do what was originally intended for the artRAVE

[nath4gaga 1,274]

Ok here's what I think.

 

1. I could see how parts of the performance may have been disturbing, I agree that these should have been pulled. (Although I personally would have loved to have seen the performance as originally intended.)

2. However, aforementioned changes should not have affected the whole performance which I am so infuriated by. It is not right to strip an artist of pretty much their entire idea, especially if there is underlying meaning.

3. Refusing Gaga's performance and allowing Miley's performance is absolutely unacceptable. It shows how corrupt large corporations can be. I really do not think they have been fair to a lot of artists (gaga in particular) in the past year or so. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if bribes were exchanged (that's the cray conspiracy thoughts coming through.) I am therefore incredibly mad at MTV, it seems they don't want gaga to achieve as much as it's obvious she could achieve this era. 

4. Anyone who thinks Miley's performance had some sort of subliminal message to it, is WRONG. (As explained previously)

[Cameron1012 0]

NOPE. You are wrong for a number of reasons.

1. They could have just rejected the projection segment, which could have easily been ammended with something else.]

2. At the rehearsals, the large set pieces were there. The ideas were clearly rejected very close to the performance.

 

Except you're not taking Gaga's position as an artist into thought. It could have been easily ammended with something else, but Gaga seems to be the type of artist to have something done exactly as she wants, or do a different idea(her performance at the VMAs didnt seem completely different, but it seemed like quite a different interpretation of what she wanted)

 

and look at how Gaga responded to the DWUW video....and how she responded with her own Edge of Glory MV

 

but what do you mean at the rehearsals the large set pieces were there(do you mean different from the ones we saw on stage?). Its totally possible they rejected the idea super close, but I just think it's quite plausible Lady Gaga was getting stuff prepared for the performance before MTV rejected, and possibly even before she sent in the treatment...which I said they probably rejected it within a month or two of receiving the treatment

[Illuminati Freak 2,432]

This really saddens me we didn't get to see this performance. Sounds 100% pure GaGa that I love screw MTV for not allowing it I don't understand why?

1. I did take that into account and I still believe she would have made the amendment if she could have.

2. I don't believe it was how she wanted it done in the first place. And she decided to scrap the idea for the original EoG MV because it was for her grandfather and she wanted it to be a lot simpler.

3. Look at the last few pictures on the original links, the set was slightly different and included that raven thingy at a DRESS rehearsal on the stage of the actual VMAs. It was rejected very close to the performance, I even remember the rehearsal photo being tweeted on the day saying "Gaga in rehearsal"

1. well either she proposed her own amendment and they didnt accept it, or she didnt want to and changed the whole performance

2. And I think the original idea was a combination of her and Kahns, I mean she definitely came up with the mermaid idea Yuyi before hand, and she used Yuyi afterwards in performances and the You and I video,...but I doubt Lady Gaga would put in the effort to film things with such a budget if she didnt want it in the first place....it seemed what happened is she didnt like how it was turning out and how Kahn was directing it, which eventually led to her ditching (or it may have been something with BoomKack, cant remember well) . Anyways the original idea had to be partly hers. 

3. And hmm the set looks exactly the same as in the performance. Just compared the video and the pictures. I'm confused

[2007 5,291]

I think am a having huge meltdown right now

[albert 108]

I actually enjoyed the performance she gave but holy **** this would've SLAYED. I feel sorry for Gaga, I'm sure she really wanted to perform this. The worst thing you can do to an artist is deny them of their creativity. It also makes me wonder what else is going behind the scenes that we don't know.

[JusticeforVenus 950]

fu*Ck MTV... u are a pig inside a human body....

[Innovative 2]

Honestly I prefer what we got, it was fun, dancey, and high energy.

 

I think a lot of you are being hypocritical because you all wet yourselves when she put on that Fame wig, now all the sudden this comes out and everyone doesn't like it

[SadJudasPanda 0]

This is what she meant by her most physical performance. **** MTV. The era would be so different if she was able to do a performance like this.
